Very happy for you, C5-Dawg! That is a beautiful color combo and, you gotta admit, that dream since you were 5 was worth the wait.

Be sure to wave!

Looks very hot judging from the photo. Don't be surprised if you find yourself peeking into the garage to check on it. I've had my vert for 12 months and I still do it.

I can't believe my luck: '00 with only 26,000 miles and a 6 speed. Found it online at a local dealer, and had to have it. It's Artic White w/ Torch red interior, which has always been my favorite combo. My last car was an LS1 Formula Firebird and I can't believe the difference.

Anyway, Thanks for letting me gloat, I still keep looking in the garage to make sure I'm not dreaming!!!!!!
Welcome to the forum. Now stop looking IN the garage;back tha bad boy OUT and drive!!!
